Removing
Warnings:
- After repairs are completed, the fuel system should be inspected for leaks. Failure to follow this instruction may result in injury.
- Do not carry or use a cell phone while working on or in the vicinity of any fuel related items. There is a danger of ignition of flammable vapours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.
- Do not smoke or walk with a lit cigarette or any type of open flame while working on or near fuel related items. There is a danger of ignition of flammable vapours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.
- If fuel gets in your eyes, rinse them with cold water or special eyewash solution and seek immediate medical attention.
- This procedure includes fuel handling. Always be aware of the possibility of fuel splashing and be careful when handling fuel. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after handling fuel as prolonged skin contact with fuel may cause irritation. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.
Caveats:
- Diesel fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and very close clearances. Therefore, when working with these nodes, absolute cleanliness is required.
- Be sure to insert plugs into all open openings and piping. Failure to follow this instruction may lead to the penetration of dirt into the fuel injection system.
- Keep the workshop area where the vehicle is being worked on as clean and dust-free as possible. Dirt and dust from working on the clutch, brakes, or from machining or welding can contaminate the fuel system and lead to malfunctions later.
